SPORTS MOUTHGUARDS ARE NOT ALL CREATED EQUAL!

Comparing dentist fabricated, custom sports mouthguards with sock or boil and bite type mouthguards, typically found in sporting goods stores, reveals significant differences.

Boil and bite type mouth guards do not fit as accurately as custom fabricated so they often are uncomfortable and frequently interfere with the athletes breathing and speaking ability.

At the First International Symposium on Dental Biomaterials in August of 1993, Dr. J Pak, Ph.D., reported that boil and bite mouthguards provide a false sense of protection due to the dramatic decrease in thickness when the athletes bites it into place during its softened state. Dr. Park further stated that unless dramatic improvements are made, they (boil and bite mouthguards) should not be promoted by dentists to their sporting patients.
